The City of Knowledge Academy, Ijebu-Ode who were in the 3rd position at the Nigeria CONRAD Challenge 2023, were again finalists at the 2024 edition of the Challenge where they made five unique pitches.
In five teams, their projects this year were in the health/nutrition and energy/environment categories, two out of four broad categories of the Challenge. The projects were GreenTech, Slasher, Agroweb, Fertigator, and Agrosecurity. The Conrad Challenge was founded by Nancy Conrad in honor of her late husband, astronaut, innovator, and entrepreneur, Charles “Pete” Conrad Jr.
” Although they expressed some discouragement over not clinching any of the top three overall positions, the students remain committed to improving their projects and developing innovative technology ahead of the next edition of the CONRAD Challenge. With a commendation from the CONRAD panel of judges, the CKA team received the awards for most resilient team, best pitch in health and nutrition category, and best team coach, which was won by Mr. Femi Oyedoyin the CKA Biology/Agric.
